Damn if that speedo is right that is nuts!!! Nice find!

der KM/H

Okay then why isnt his tach working? :p

I had the how-to on putting one of those into a `85-`91 Grand Am. The only issue was some major hood clearance issues (ie. Supercharger sits through the hood!). I always wanted to do it but I didn't have the time, money, or knowledge to do it.

On the bright side, I am glad I never did. Driving that car compared to driving the Contour I atually know how poorly it would have been able to do any kind of twisties.

why does it look like he is only going 40mph out the window?

im guessing that's KPH? If not that speedo is way off...180 on what doesn't look like a highway...need lots of room to break 180. And, that's a 3.8lv6? A-la a gtp right? Must really move that car but not that fast, unless heavily modded right?

looks like to me that his tach is hooked into his speedo. Watch the first time his car shifts how the speedo drops.

But its an automatic, why would it drop like that?? I think it was just goin up because of wheelspin..

It is in km/h so his top speed at the end of the ideo is 180km/h = 112mph. That is hella fast... Something looks fishy to me, but I of course could be wrong... 2 questions, 1) why did his speedo drop like that, was it cause he was spinning to 75km/h (50mph!!!) and when he got traction then his speed dropped to the real speed??? 2) why isnt the tach working? that car makes it from 0-112 in 20 seconds The car does sound like it makes 3 shifts. I dont know, it has alot of validity to it, but there are those 2 small things that confused me... -Nick
